of the other points on the coast mentioned in 

 these chapters are difficult to find excepting the 

 Everglades through Harney River. The first 

 six miles, up Harney River to Tussock Bay, is 

 easy, but after that the course is labyrinthic. The 

 best advice I can give in a few words is to keep as 

 near as possible to an east-north-east course from 

 Tussock Bay for about seven miles when you

 days to exhaust the blind leads, but you will 

 succeed at last and the experience will richly re- 

 pay you.

 within reach of supplies of bread, vegetables, etc., 

 from farmers.
